[Life Intended] Are you in the zone of chaos?!

Published 9 months ago • 2 min read

Hey Reader,

If you’re in your 30s, 40s, or 50s, chances are you’ve felt it—that sense of change in your body and mood that you can’t quite explain.

Maybe you’ve noticed weight gain, disrupted sleep, or even a feeling that you’re just “not yourself.”

Here’s the good news: you’re not alone, and you’re not crazy.

In this week's episode of Life Intended, I had the absolute privilege of speaking with Kelley Maple, a Family Nurse Practitioner and the Chief Medical Officer of Medical Anti-Aging. Kelley and I discuss the chaos of perimenopause—a phase that affects nearly every woman and yet remains so misunderstood.

We talked about hormone replacement therapy (HRT), lifestyle changes, and nutrition strategies that can truly transform the way women experience midlife. Kelley’s approach is rooted in science, compassion, and lived experience, making this an incredibly empowering conversation for women everywhere.

Do me a favor and share this episode with all of your friends! I promise, they will thank you and it will give you LOTS to talk about!

Personally, I was so inspired by this conversation I have an appointment with Kelley myself TODAY!! I’m diving in, ordering bloodwork, and learning more about how I can optimize my health during this pivotal phase of life.

I’ll share what I learn in an upcoming episode because I want all of us to feel informed and empowered to thrive.

Midlife doesn’t have to be about “powering through.” It can be a time of strength, clarity, and self-discovery.

See you back here next week!

Hi Reader, From KellySadie wrote something new yesterday and I absolutely love her framing. Sharing it here because so many of us are in a “something’s changing” season. From SadieThresholds are the moments in life when you feel the ground moving under your feet. You’re not fully where you were, and not quite where you’re going. Maybe you recognize yourself here: You’re leading at work and feel the weight of expectations from every direction. You’re returning after maternity leave or another...

Life Intended podcast with host Kelly Berry and guest Julia Arpag

Hi Reader, So many of us spend years looking outside ourselves for the next right move. We hire experts, read books, scroll through advice, hoping someone else will hand us the answer. Here’s the shift we’re inviting you to make: leading yourself starts when you stop outsourcing your power. You can lean on resources and wisdom while still remembering that you get the final say. Reflection, tools, and community are here to bring you back to what you already know, not to shape you into someone...

Hi Reader, Have you ever felt: "I want two things at once, and I feel guilty or confused no matter what I choose.” I want to work, and I want more time with my kids.I want to be needed and I want freedom.I want to reach my full potential and I want to rest. It feels like contradiction. But what if it’s actually your inner voice, knocking at the door? The way we’ve been taught to live is cracking. Burnout rates are at record highs, technology is accelerating at inhuman speeds, and many of us...
